Disappointing products #6
Tuesday, September 17, 2019
Hi girls.
Today I decided to talk about products that I don't really like that much. I expected them to perform good but they actually didn't. Maybe you like some of them, but for me they just didn't work. Another disclaimer: even though the products mentioned in this post didn't work for me, I try to use up some of them or give them away to a person that would enjoy them...

Danes pa malce negativna objava o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali. Mislila sem, da me bodo navdušili, vendar niso opravili svojega namena. Mogoče so komu super izdelki, vendar zame niso delovali dovolj dobro. Hkrati pa naj omenim, da vseeno takšne izdelke poskušam porabit ali pa jih dam komu, ki bi mu bili všeč...

Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 One Step Cleanser
As much as I like Vichy products, this one didn't spark my joy. It supposed to cleanse, remove makeup and tone your skin. It's a cleansing milk which isn't my favorite either. You apply it onto the skin, massage it in and then remove it with cotton pads or warm water. Well, I don't like the fact that it leaves my skin so greasy afterwards. It simply doesn't remove and leaves a weird layer behind. So then I would need to use another cleanser. It's not my first option to remove makeup either since I didn't feel like it remove my eye makeup well. I just think it's too much work.
Običajno mi Vichy izdelki za nego obraza res ustrezajo, ampak tale me res ni navdušil. Deluje kot čistilec, odstranjevalec ličil ter toner - 3 v 1. Ima teksturo kot čistilna mleka, kar meni že tako običajno ni všeč. Pa vendar sem ga kar nekajkrat preizkusila in se ni dobro obneslo. Izdelek naneseš direktno na kožo, tekočino vmasiraš ter vzameš vatice in z njimi obrišeš obraz, ali pa s toplo vodo kar umiješ stran izdelek ter nečistoče. Najbolj me moti, da za seboj pusti tak masten občutek. Ne da se ga odstranit in za seboj pusti čuden sloj. Tako, da morem nato vseeno uporabit še eno čistilo za obraz. Hkrati pa se mi zdi, da tudi ličil ne odstrani dobro. Preveč dela je z njim in ne obnese se dobro.
Avon Advance Techniques Dry Shampoo
Another product that was just "meh". This dry shampoo actually smells quite nice. However it didn't do much to my hair. It's not that white, so it's not strong. And it nothing similar to Batiste. Just a waste of money.
Še en "brezvezen" izdelek. Ta suh šampon sicer meni diši lepo, vendar pač ne opravi svojega namena. Prah v pločevinki ni bel in na laseh ne naredi skoraj nič. Lasje so mastni kot prej. Niti malo ni podoben Batiste suhemu šamponu. Zato je škoda denarja za tak brezvezen suh šampon.
Carmex Classic lip balm
I bought this lip balms because I've heard good things about Carmex. Well I loved this lip balm at first, but then I realised it was kinda bad for every day use. Yes it feels nicely moisturizing, however it contains menthol so it plumps up your lips and speeds up circulation. If I used it often during the day, my lips would get hot and that feeling wouldn't stop. Now I use it once during application of my makeup and then I'm finished with it. But I'm curious if the Carmex in the pot has menthol as well.
Carmex balzam sem kupila, ker je veliko govora o njih. Tekstura mi je na začetku bila res zelo všeč in zdelo se mi je, da mi dobro navlaži ustnice. Nato pa sem ugotovila, da verjetno ni primeren za vsak dan saj vsebuje mentol in pospeši cirkulacijo v ustnicah, da izgledajo bolj polne. Če sem ga uporabljala redno čez dan, so bile moje ustnice potem vroče in občutek ni izginil po nekaj urah in mi je bilo zelo neprijetno. Zato ga zdaj uporabim samo enkrat vmes, ko se ličim. Me pa zanima ali vsak Carmex balzam vsebuje izvleček mentola.
Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment - Simply Rose
I got two products from Kiehl's and neither of them wowed me (Creme de Corps lotion is quite ok, but nothing special for that price). This lip balm is tinted red and would be a perfect Christmas shade. However, it is quite drying. It doesn't do much on my lips. If it would be a lipstick, I would understand that, but being a lip balm, it couldn't be worse.
Od znamke Kiehl's sem dobila dva izdelka in noben me ni pretirano navdušil (Creme de Corps losjon je kar vredu, ampak nič posebnega za tako visoko ceno). Ta balzam je obarvan (sicer je moj v božični izdaji) in je lep odtenek za praznične dni. Hkrati pa se mi ne zdi dovolj vlažilen, temveč precej suh. Nanese se lepo kremasto, ampak potem se mi zdi izsušujoč. In tudi malo preveč je pigmentiran za navaden balzam. Bi razumela, če bi bila šminka in bi izsušila moje ustnice, vendar je balzam, zato ga ne razumem.
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours FoundationI mentioned this product before (here). But let's talk about it again because it deserves to be in this post. As much as I love the porcelain shade (B10) and how lightweight it is, it just disappointed me. That's because there was so much good talk about it amongst beauty bloggers. The name "all hours" suggests it to be long lasting, however, it just does not last long on my skin. After 5 hours I'm quite oily and it separates on my chin. It's quite sad because this is one hella expensive foundation and now I learned that it would be best to test a foundation before purchasing it. But if you don't have extra oily T-zone, maybe you could try it out, because it has a pretty finish.
O tem izdelku sem že pisala tukaj. Ampak naj ga še enkrat omenim, ker si žal zasluži tole objavo. Res mi je všeč zelo svetel porcelanast odtenek (B10) in kako lahkotna je ta podlaga. Pa vendar me je ta puder razočaral. Morda tudi zato, ker je bil tako opevan v lepotnem svetu. Ime "all hours" seveda namiguje na to, da naj bi bila podlaga zelo obstojna, vendar ne na moji koži. Sama imam precej mastno T-cono. Ko nosim ta puder, moja koža po 5ih urah izgleda precej mastna ter se podlaga tudi začne ločevati na bradi. Res žalostno za tako drag tekoč puder. Sem se naučila, da bi bilo pred nakupom potrebno preizkusiti podlago. Pa vendar, nekako jo bom vseeno porabila. Če pa nimate tako masten T-cone, jo morda lahko vseeno preizkusite saj zgleda res lepo na koži.

Yes, there is also menthol in the Carmex pot.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like that it instantly repairs my broken and fractured lips.
I do feel like it is great at hydrating, but I cannot use it more than once per day because it's so potent.
DeleteMentol? Jaz osebno obožujem mentol v proizvodih za ustnice, amapk samo v toplih mesecih. Poleti me lepo pohladi pa še všeč mi je rahel občutek ščemenja, čeprav nikoli nisem opazila povečanja ustnic, doro da sem prebrala članek in si ga grem kupit dokler je še toplo ;) Kar nekomu ni všeč je mogoče super za nekoga drugega, zato vedno z veseljem prebiram objave o izdelkih, ki nekoga niso prepričale, ker je velika verjetnost da bodo pa ravno meni všeč.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Avonov suhi šampon ni najbolj učinkovit a ga jaz nanesem malo več in mi je ok za čez dan, zvečer si pa itak umijem lase in ga sperem. mogoče nimam tako mastnih las pa še vonj mi je čudovit, ga nosim namesto parfuma ;)
Mene mentol drugače ne moti, ampak tu je precej močen. Žal res ne morem tega balzama tako redko uporabljat :)
DeleteJa, res je: vsak ima svoj "okus" in pričakovanja od izdelkov.
Enostavno ni ga čez Batiste suh šampon ! ;)
Batiste je res zakon, moj najljubši je Peony, ampak nisem še preizkusila vseh vonjev, tako da...
